TRLUP – From Sparse Data to Actionable Insights: A Transit Ridership Platform

Public transit agencies in Canada often struggle to accurately measure and predict ridership patterns due to limited and incomplete data. Traditional methods typically rely on a single data source, which makes it hard to get a clear view of how people move across the transit network. Without this information, agencies find it challenging to match […]
